Seizing fan

Just picked up my first Feroza, and loving it. However, the engine fan is howling like a banshee. People run and hide if I'm reving over 2500. Tried spinning it by hand and i doesn't budge. Limited knoweledge here, but I assume I've got a cooked bearing or something along these lines.

Any thoughts?

And is there anyway I'll re able to rebuild / repack bearings / etc. vs replacing? From my reading so far on here, it seems replacement parts are pretty hard to come by... (located in Sydney for what it's worth)

Cheers,
Jesse

Viscous hubs are often available aftermarket- but they're very expensive ($200??? roughly.)

There's this option: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1990-90- ... 24011r4508

The fluid can be bought from Toyota (search on here), but I think you'll find the hub isn't really designed to be pulled apart.
